3.0 out of 5 stars
Families of Value a fair value,
By A Customer
This review is from: Families Of Value (Hardcover)
A somewhat informative book. Answered some questions I had, like what do the kids call you? I was disappointed that there was not more information told from the kids' perspective. Mostly parents. Also, was almost exclusively a book told from a lesbian point of view. Some, but relatively few comments from gay male parents. Many of the themes told from the perspective of lesbian parents can be generalized to include men as parents, but nevertheless, the gay male parenting experience is a unique one and is not well represented here. An average book covering a topic on which little substantive, quality information is available.

A clear picture of real families,
By A Customer
This review is from: Families Of Value (Hardcover)
This book gave me some answers I was looking for in the adoption process. It opened my eyes on some issues I had questions about. The families selected were very diverse, I was disapointed that it did not include a gay male couple, only lesbians and single gay men. 86% of the families profiled were lesbian parents.

Excellent reading!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Families Of Value (Hardcover)
Wow...Finally a book about our families that's whole, upbeat, and accessible. Families of Value should be required reading for anyone who ever questioned lesbians' and gays' right to be parents. Or anyone who supports lesbigay families for that matter. The words of the children speak volumes!!! I couldn't put it down!
